This disclosure relates to the field of data
backup technology, providing a method, apparatus, device, medium, and product for online partition
backup. The method includes: in response to receiving a
backup instruction for a target partition in an online state during
operating system operation, associating the backup endpoint with a mirror mapping layer mapped to the target partition; and using the mirror mapping layer, performing block-level backup operations on blocks in the target partition to back up the target partition to the backup endpoint. The block-level backup operation includes: in response to receiving a real-time read / write operation for the target block, using the mirror mapping layer, updating the
data content of the real-time read / write operation to the target block according to the current backup status of the target block and backing it up to the backup endpoint. This disclosure solves the problems of offline partition backup causing
system service interruptions and being unable to cope with scenarios of dynamic changes in partition data, achieving online partition backup, allowing
dynamic data writing, and avoiding business losses during the backup process.
